The binding material in sedimentary rocks that precipitates between grains from pore fluids. Calcite and quartz are common cement-forming minerals.

The gray powder that serves as the glue in concrete; Portland cement; also, any adhesive.

Usually refers to a portland cement.

A hydraulic mixture, without aggregate, consisting of a calcined mixture of clay and pulverized limestone.

a substance that holds together particles such as sand grains, pebbles or shell fragments. Common cementing substances in rocks are calcite, silica (silicon dioxide) or limonite (iron oxide) [cementation]

The thick resinous material which is used in the cylinder of a musical box to hold the pins in place and to afford a deeper, more resonant sound.

Substances used to bond Composite Resins to Dental Enamel and Dentin. These bonding or luting agents are used in restorative Dentistry, Root Canal Therapy; Prosthodontics; and Orthodontics.

In the adhesive sense, a substance bonding two materials by chemical or solvent action.

Chemically precipitated mineral material that occurs in the spaces of a sedimentary rock, thus binding the grains into a rigid mass. The most common cements are silica, carbonates, and iron oxides.

Cement is the natural or synthetic material which binds rock particles together. In sedimentary rocks, the cementing substances include silica, calcite, clay and iron oxide.

A powdered product of alumina, silica, lime, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide burned together in a kiln that reacts with water to form a rock-like substance that bonds aggregates in concrete.

A powder, consisting of alumina, silica, lime, and other substances that hardens when mixed with water. Extensively used in the oil industry to bond casing to the walls of the wellbore.

Fluid cement is mixed at the surface, pumped to the bottom of a cased well, forced to flow around the lower end of the casing and up into the space between the casing and the borehole. When the cement solidifies (sets), it holds the casing in place, and provides support.

A powder consisting of alumina, silica, lime, and other substances that hardens when mixed with water. Extensively used in the oil industry to bond casing to the walls of the wellbore.

A powder which when mixed with water forms a paste that hardens with time. Portland Cement was first patented by Joseph Aspin in 1824 and is known as hydraulic cement, because it will set under water. [..]

The constituent of concrete or mortar that binds the aggregate together to form a solid material. Portland cement is mainly composed of calcium silicates and formed by sintering limestone and other minerals in a kiln, before grinding to powder.
